On August 23, 1912, the Cubs were four games out of first place in the National League.
From August 24 to August 26, the Cubs lost three in a row, two to the last-place Boston Braves and one to the next-to-last-place Brooklyn Dodgers, putting them 6.5 games out of first.
Then on August 27, the Cubs beat Brooklyn 6-0, while the first-place Giants lost 2-0 in Cincinnati.
Alas for Cubs fans, the sprung hope was in vain: That four games out of first place would prove to be the best moment of the season for the Cubs, who finished in third place, 11.5 games back.Report
